    looks like someone forgot to adjust the camber when they slammed the coilovers for showtime.

    no way to fix the camber with it tucked like that, they had to toe-in the rear just to get the tires to fit. I first saw that "stance" on an Opel Astra back in '98-99...then starting seeing Volvo's and Audi's doing it. You're right about it being for show though...there is no way that can benefit handling but it sure looks good as hell.

    With the charcoal hood, roof, and trunk being so dark and the grill blacked out I would have gone with darker centers on the wheels though.
